Head Coach Shaka Smart rounded out his VCU men's basketball
coaching staff with a familiar face, announcing the hiring of
former graduate assistant Dwight Perry as the Rams' new
video coordinator.

Perry has spent the last two seasons as a graduate assistant
under Smart and his staff, during which VCU has posted a 56-16
mark, including back-to-back trips to the NCAA Tournament Round of
32.

"I'm extremely appreciative of the opportunity Coach Smart has
given me to stay with the program," Perry said. "I'm grateful for
the chance to continue to work with our student-athletes on a daily
basis."

Prior to his time in Richmond, Perry spent two seasons as an
intern with the Stanford men's basketball program.

The Durham, North Carolina native spent three years as a member
of the University of Kentucky basketball team, where he earned his
degree in Business Management.

Perry is also a graduate of VCU's Center for Sports Leadership,
earning his master's in May of 2013.
